Sleep?

Here's a favorite quote that describes how I feel about 2013:

"I'm so optimistic I'd go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce
with me."

- Zig Ziglar

Out with 2012 and in with 2013! A new year is upon us and so is the excitement that sparkles like a newly minted copper penny. And in my gut, I feel that this will be a breakthrough year for me personally, as well as a year of new beginnings. How are you feeling about the New Year?? Is your intuition giving you a big thumb's up too?

I'm continuing to move full steam ahead with my art businesses and have promised myself at least two art-related "vacations" to further expand my art knowledge and learn new techniques. And this morning I agreed to participate in a "30 Paintings in 30 Days" challenge by the uber-talented artist, talk-show host and marketing expert, Leslie Saeta. Really!

There's nothing like starting the New Year with a bang - I'm finishing a very fun commission for a cherished client of mine; getting ready for a 25-piece show at a hospital in two weeks; and prepping for a shared show with the amazing Taylor Gutermute in February at ArtHouse in Sacramento, CA.

So of course I figured I'd have time to squeeze in a 30-Paintings in 30-Days challenge.....apparently the sleep gene isn't in my DNA! There will be lots of new JJ art coming your way in the first quarter of 2013 -- stay tuned.
